UH-OH: Marjorie Taylor Green is SUPER MAD at Fox News for ‘Controlling What Republicans Think?
The magnitude of the maladjustment within today’s Republican Party has reached unprecedented levels of chaos and hostility.

TRUMP and FOX NEWS are Priming the MAGA Cult for Devastating and Dangerous Disappointment
The trial of Donald Trump for election interference and campaign finance fraud (sometimes known as the “Hush Money” trial), has wrapped its fourth week.

Opinion: Eyes Open America, or You are Next
There is a saying in playground basketball games, no harm, no foul. That may be fine for Sidney Deane and Billy Hoyle, but the United States’ sanctity is a different story.
